Morris Minor Owners Club

I just like all of them! I think it was dame Edna Evarage who refered to a Traveller as a "half-timbered car"!!

but best of all I like the foot-operated headlight dim switch

The snail cam inside the brake drums???
You worry me! Reminds me of an old work friend who said he looked forward to fridays so he could go home and pick at that bit of loose lino under the kitchen sink! Thats what a lifetime at Marconi did for you!

The gear change, feels like I'm cocking a rifle.

For me it is the way I sit at the wheel--I have had a broken back and this little car gives me comfort in many way, even when standing still!!

I like how in the Monsoon the inside of my speedo fogs up completely. Can't see a thing but it gives off a very subdued, warm glow when the instrument lights are on.
I also love starting it with the crank handle for the kids across the road, funniest thing they've ever seen it seems.

I like the view from the drivers seat of the curved bonnet and wings with the bonnet embled cutting through the air

What does it for me is washing and polishing the sensual curves of the front wings.
Is it just me or do I have a hang up ?

The way they sound - espcecially the fart!

The way they smell - someone should market "old car smell" air-fresheners!

The simplicity - one dial, two dash switches, one column stalk - job done!

Oh, and plus all the above comments (apart from the rust )

That's a fabulous story

Good grief Chas does er indoors know you feel like that

the idiosyncrasies about the car which make it so interesting to drive.

its RWD!!

if it breaks down on the side of the road, theres one thing it can be - the points and condenser.

being able to crank start it when its got a flat battery

chaz is that some kind of fetish you have

I've only owned my for a few weeks and haven't even riden in it yet but it must be the curves of it. The huge bump on the bonnet and the, may I say, curvy bum . They just ooze character and stand out.

I like the fact that there is always a spider living inside one of the over riders

It has a starter handle!!

its got to be the curves , smile factor and staying power

the fact that it always starts no matter how long i leave it and no little bits of plastic break off when i work on it .

On my Series II its the trafficators, the tiny windscreen wipers and that little leather strap that stops the rear seat folding down. How simple is that!

there are so many (when I think about it) that its hard to choose just one...but here goes:

All the space in the engine bay - makes you confident enough to get in and have a go!

The toggle switches on the dashboard. They're so clicky
